The Department of Homeland Security has remained largely silent regarding two fatal encounters that occurred over the past week, despite growing public demand for transparency.\n\nIn contrast, local police departments have increasingly adopted policies of openness, often releasing body-camera footage and detailed statements shortly after critical incidents. This shift has been driven by viral videos that forced accountability and built public trust.\n\nCritics argue that **D. H.

S.'s refusal to engage undermines the progress made at the municipal level and erodes confidence in federal law enforcement. The agency's silence stands in stark relief to the local police model, where video evidence has become a catalyst for reform.\n\nAs two fatal encounters remain unexplained, advocates urge D. H.

S. to adopt the transparency practices now standard among local departments**, warning that secrecy only deepens suspicion.
